The inside is pretty…read moredark (which is fine with me, but a bit surprising that the owner would want it so dark), but on a nice evening (like tonight), the outside seating (small, only 4-5 tables) is delightful. Not fancy, but nice and comfortable tables with huge umbrellas to block the sun. The food here is good. In the past, we got the Platter for 2 ($27), which is a nice sized platter of wood fire grilled steak, chicken, sausage and shrimp with rice/beans/salad and tortillas. We couldn't finish it all and it was all delicious. No complimentary chips and salsa for the table, so tonight we ordered chips and guac to start. The guac was good with chunks of tomato, onion and avocado; it would have been nice to also get some salsa with it when you order the guac, but there's a separate charge for chips/salsa. For entrees, we got a Carne En Vara and Carne Asada. The En Vara is a skewer of chicken, beef, onion and green peppers, with rice/beans and a side order of arepitas (corn fritter). Everything was well prepared. I liked the arepitas. The Asada was a decent piece of beef that was well prepared. Came with rice and beans and flour tortillas. The service was very good. We were seated and received ice water promptly. The guac came out quickly as did the entrees, but not rushed. The server came by a couple of times to see how we were doing snd she refilled our waters. This is a "Latin" restaurant, and maybe I'm used to the ubiquitous Mexican restaurants that place salsa on the table, and I will say I missed it and didn't want to have to spend $3.95 for salsa. There were a couple of times when I would have liked to dip some of the meat into a sauce/salsa. They do put a bottle of Habanero hot sauce on the table when you sit down. The entrees tonight were good, but if you want to try the fire grilled meats, for value I recommend the Platter for 2.

The guacamole was chunky and delightfully lime-y; well worth $9. The yuca rellenas were very tasty and filling. Lots of chicken and the marinated tomato and onion paired really well. Service was attentive and the only reason I can't give 5 stars is because the chairs are hard wood with no padding which can be painful for some people (me...I mean me). Will return!

Our bill was $160 for fries, salmon tiraditos, steak frites (42), seafood coconut rice, lemonade (5, maker have forgotten to mix in sugar so we just had lemon juice?), and the 7 reasons old fashioned (19). My steak was actually pretty good. The seafood coconut rice however was undercooked, we didn't get our dishes until almost an hour after ordering so maybe they had kitchen issues. It took so long we just ate the raw rice with seafood because we ain't waiting another hour. The seafood was very good. The regular old fashioned is better than the 7 reasons old fashioned. Imo they need to get block ice, this is made with regular cubes which melts very fast and gets watery. Best dish for me was the steak, it was very nicely seared. Not very busy on a Saturday night, very nice classy date vibes indoors. Our group sat on the patio, total bill was around 750 for 7 adults 3 toddlers.

I liked Seven Reasons (at its original location) so I decided to check this out with my husband on a Saturday night. Reservations were easy to get. The place itself is fine in terms of decor. Not high end but not bad. The women's restroom has two stalls that don't indicate whether someone is in there and they're heavy doors, which makes for a potentially awkward experience with you knocking and trying to ram down the door, just to find out no one is in there. But I digress... The food is sh*t, plain and simple. The ceviche is more like raw poke that's unseasoned. The prawns taste like they were sauced in baby food. What I thought would be the hero - the branzino- had weird and misplaced (in terms of taste) dollops of sweet pineapple, it was underseasoned (honestly, unseasoned), and there was a bed of greens (salad mix and herbs, many of which were wilted) on the side. Let me be clear: the food wasn't mediocre; it was bad. Highway robbery. A disgrace. An abomination. Even the drinks were bad. Their take on a gin and tonic is akin to spraying perfume in your mouth and then chasing it with flowers. One of the hosts tried to sell us on a bottle of white wine from Uruguay. We asked to try it and it was worse than 5 buck chuck from Trader Joe's. We passed. And service at other restaurants in the area is better, so I can't even give them high marks for that. One and done. Enjoy other people's money to keep this joke afloat.
